[amibroker] Applystop question

["Charles Stangor" <cstangor232@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I reach 1/2 of my profit, I want to set my stop to breakeven.  I therefore change the stop from some positive value to zero (that is, the original entry).  But the stop seems to execute immediately when I do this, even though the OHLC of the bar are all above the entry.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

 

Thanks

Subject: [amibroker] Alertif()

Having problems with alert if....

 

The 2nd alertif code below works (most of the time). By most of the time I mean it works at specific points on the chart, and not at others meeting the same criteria.

 

The 1st alertif code, has less strict criteria, uses the same sound file, but never works.

 

I have coded the flags (or at least I think so) to trigger every time

 

Appreciate any help

AlertIf((SDiv_Code==12 OR SDiv_Code==13 OR SDiv_Code==14),"Sound D:\\Amibroker\\Wav Files\\Lower High.wav","",5,0,100 );

AlertIf((SDiv_Code==12 OR SDiv_Code==13 OR SDiv_Code==14) AND Bear_Diverge==1,"Sound D:\\Amibroker\\Wav Files\\Lower High.wav","",5,0,100 );
